Nastassia Raffy

Hi, I’m Nastassia, a postgraduate astrophysicist from the University of Manchester, where I recently completed a research Master’s working on a NASA mission and graduating with distinctions. I also hold a BSc in Theoretical Physics from King's College London.

I have taught Physics at the University of Cambridge summer school, guiding students aged 13–16 through pre-university material. By the end of the programme, every student sat full A-level papers, with the lowest score being 64%. I focus not only on results, but on building confidence, intuition, and genuine curiosity for the subject.

Alongside this, I have worked with exam boards developing GCSE and A-level maths and physics materials, giving me a strong understanding of how marks are awarded and how to consistently access top-band answers.

My lessons are highly structured and tailored to each student. I combine clear explanations with targeted problem sets and exam-style practice, ensuring students know exactly how to approach questions step by step.

I specialise in helping students move beyond memorisation to develop a clear, structured understanding of maths and physics - the key to achieving top grades and handling unfamiliar exam questions with confidence.

Whether the goal is to build strong foundations, improve grades, or prepare for competitive university applications, I focus on developing independent thinking and long-term understanding, not just short-term results.

Get in touch now and we’ll build a focused study plan based on your current level, target grades, exam board (or university exams) and we will start working through it from the very first session.
